Description
The present invention relates to, for example, an exposure apparatus used in semiconductor manufacturing and a method of designing the exposure apparatus.
For example, ultraviolet light is used for illumination of an exposure apparatus used for manufacturing a semiconductor or the like. For this reason, a plurality of lamps typified by a high-pressure discharge lamp are combined and used in the illumination of the exposure apparatus. In the exposure apparatus, a lens chain integrator that receives light from a plurality of lamps and increases the uniformity of the light is used.
Such a lamp adopts a capability according to the amount of light required in an exposure apparatus. If the capability is satisfied by one lamp (that is, " 1 "), If it can not be exposed, the exposure operation itself must be stopped. Therefore, it is common practice to supply a required amount of light to an exposure apparatus using a plurality of lamps having relatively small capacities (for example, Patent Document 1).
Conventionally, when a lamp group composed of a plurality of lamps is used in an exposure apparatus, the angle of the lamp is set to be larger so that the angle of the optical axis of the lamp with respect to the central axis of the integrator becomes larger as the lamps closer to the upper and lower ends or the left and right ends of the lamp group become larger. The number of lamps can be increased as much as the amount of light required for exposure. That is, it has been considered that the longitudinal dimension and the lateral dimension of the lamp group can be increased as much as possible.
However, the inventors have found that, when the angle of the optical axis of the lamp with respect to the central axis of the integrator increases, the light from the lamp located outside of any angle does not become effective light contributing to exposure. That is, although an exposure apparatus using a plurality of lamps is generally used, there is still room for improvement as to how to arrange the plurality of lamps.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an exposure apparatus in which a plurality of lamps are optimally arranged, and a method of designing an exposure apparatus for optimally disposing a plurality of lamps.
According to an aspect of the present invention,
A lamp group including a plurality of lamps,
And an integrator that receives light from the plurality of lamps and increases the uniformity of the light,
The exposure apparatus satisfying the following
Conditional expression 1 a? Tan? 1
only,
a: the longitudinal dimension and the lateral dimension of the lamp group
L: distance from the exit position of the lamp group to the incidence position of the integrator
θ 1 : Of the angles formed by the optical axis of each lamp and the central axis of the integrator, the maximum value
&thetas; 2 : opening angle of light from each lamp
θ 3 : Integrator incident angle
to be.
Also, it is appropriate to use a discharge lamp for the lamp, and to set the interval of the discharge lamp between 0.8 mm and 1.5 mm.
It is also appropriate to dispose a convex lens on the surface side facing the lamp group in the integrator.
It is also preferable to arrange a lamp front lens for reducing diffusion of light from the lamp on the surface side facing the integrator in the lamp.
According to another aspect of the present invention,
A lamp group including a plurality of lamps,
An integrator that receives light from the plurality of lamps and increases the uniformity of the light is used,
